+# TaskMarket delegation sample
+
+This sample gives an Agent Framework agent two read-only tools for evaluating
+whether work should be delegated to [TaskMarket](https://taskmarket.dev/):
+
+- `discover_taskmarket_tasks` searches open public tasks by text, reward, and limit.
+- `inspect_taskmarket_task` retrieves one exact task after validating its ID.
+
+The sample does not claim, bid, submit, create, accept, sign, or spend. Task
+descriptions are external, untrusted content. A production delegation flow
+must add an explicit user-approval step and an independently authorized
+payment/signing client.
+
+## Run
+
+From `python/` in this repository:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e packages/core -e packages/openai python-dotenv
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=...
+python samples/02-agents/tools/taskmarket_delegation.py
+```
+
+No TaskMarket account, API token, wallet, or payment is required for discovery.
+The model provider key is only needed to run the conversational agent; the
+underlying public API client is standard-library Python.
+
+## Offline checks
+
+```bash
+python3 -m unittest discover -s samples/02-agents/tools -p 'test_taskmarket_client.py'
+python3 -m py_compile samples/02-agents/tools/taskmarket_client.py samples/02-agents/tools/taskmarket_delegation.py
+```
